Shiik is a lanky creature. Nearly seven feet tall when standing straight, with arms that extend to mid-thigh. His legs are quite long, offering a great stride, and the majority of his body is quite lean. Here and there his frame does poke, at the hip, and shoulder, for instance but this is not to say he does not boast his own impressive strength.

His snout is rather long, bearing many rows of needle-like canines, each serrated on it's backside. Ending in a large bony sort of 'beak' the creature is indeed quite a fright, at least as far as a bite might go.

A long, whip-like tail extends from his lower back, often snapping about behind him. It's very end bears a sort of fin-like ridge, with bony spines and a frill of dull gold.
